5.0 out of 5 stars The Weight Watchers Complete Cookbook & Program Basics, July 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Weight Watchers Complete Cookbook & Program Basics: 500 Irresistible Recipes (Plastic Comb)

This is a must have Cookbook. It is very informative as well as being easily understood by everyone. The recipes are simple to prepare. The ingredients are products found in most of our kitchens. It explains the nutritional value of the food, be it from protien, carbohydrates and fats. I own about fifty cookbooks. Rarely I pull one out to see how to prepare something new. I promise this is a cookbook I would leave out on the counter and use every day if I could find a copy to purchase. The copy I am using belong to our public library and has to be returned in three short weeks. I will definitly search high and low until I find a copy of my very own. Then I will gladly just flip open the book and make the recipe on the page it opens to. No more wondering what to make for dinner. I know each recipe will be fun and easy to make, as a bonus I will be making a healthy chioce for my entire family that they will completely enjoy. So find your copy and EAT UP.

This review is from: Weight Watchers Complete Cookbook & Program Basics: 500 Irresistible Recipes (Plastic Comb)

I am a big fan of cooking healthy, but I don't like to sacrifice taste. I have found several cookbooks which have fantastic recipes for delicious low-fat food. This is not one of them. The food in this book is bland, boring, and unappetizing. There are a few ingredients which are heavily relied on throughout the book (mustard, vinegar, black pepper), leaving the recipes tasting very much alike. The measurements are also odd. One recipe calls for 1 pound plus 4 ounces of ground turkey, another for 1 pound plus 2 ounces of pineapple, several for 1 tablespoon plus one teaspoon of something. This makes shopping, especially for meat, a pain. I wouldn't waste my money on this one.
